This was the second in a series of studies conducted by the
Social Research Institute of Tokyo on the political attitudes of the
voting population in metropolitan Tokyo (see also ICPSR 7068 and
7070). The study first examined the respondents' interest in
politics, political party preference, degree of party support, and
voting patterns. Respondents were then asked to rate the three
political parties on several issues. Respondents' identification with
the political ideologies of the capitalist, socialist, and communist
systems were also explored, as were views on strikes, government
suppression of debates and speeches, violence as a means of political
persuasion, and the necessity of compromise and patience within the
political sphere. The importance of preserving Japanese customs and
traditions of the past was assessed, as well as the respondents'
opinions of the authority of the Emperor. Demographic variables cover
age, sex, education, occupation, standard of living, and labor union
membership.
